Pennsylvania court on Saturday accepted the Green Party’s request to end its case seeking a statewide recount — a move that ends any remaining doubt, however slight, about whether Donald Trump is the victor in the 2016 presidential race.
Most — including Hillary Clinton’s campaign — expected Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin not to change the result in any of those states. The reality, however, was that the election results would not have changed unless the recounts shifted the states to Clinton in all of those states.
With Pennsylvania off the table, even a flip in the Michigan and Wisconsin results would still leave Trump at 280 electoral votes — 10 above the 270 necessary to become the next president.
Lawyers for the Green Party told the Associated Press that they would not be able to meet the Monday deadline for a $1 million bond that the Pennsylvania court had ordered in the case....

That must be plan B
Unless they can intimidate about 40 Republican electors to switch their votes.
That number is less if Clinton/Stein/Soros can put Michigan and Wisconsin into Limbo be delaying the completion of the recount past the final date to turn in electoral votes. I'm not going to be 100% comfortable until noon on January 20.
Massive voter fraud was found in Nevada. Trump, more than likely, took Nevada. How about a recount there??
Quote:
“In fact her next step is to fight for precinct by precinct recounts in Pennsylvania until the vote totals have been sufficiently corrected and revised to drop Donald Trump’s lead in the state from the current 0.8% mark to the 0.5% mark, which in turn would trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania state law. So how many mainstream major media outlets are correctly reporting that the PA recount effort is now continuing with a new strategy? There don’t appear to be any.”
There will be a plan C. It will be of even lower probability than plan B.
That picture makes me wonder - maybe Stein did this just to see Hillary lose again. I mean that is an enjoyable sight, no?
Trump is the winner. Nothing will change that.
I'm thinking that there are enough sensible dems who realize that stealing the election from Trump would have a lot of folks giving up with the ballot box. The results would be chaotic.
What's interesting....I've been watching MSNBC some, just to watch the worst of the media types unravel. They have all kinds of reasons why hillary lost....some valid, some crazy. But the one they NEVER mention is Benghazi. Perhaps Benghazi did make a difference, with Trump holding the *itch responsible for it.
Thanks.
I asked that exact question in another thread with no answer.
So, not out of the woods yet.
Plus a recount lawsuit has just been filed in Florida.
If there was an honest accounting in ILL-ANNOY, Trump probably won this state, too. Between dead voters, non-resident voters, and non-secured ballot boxes, that might flip the state.
It's over . . . except for the risk of faithless electors. I'd like to think we can relax, but I don't think that would be prudent. I want Team Trump working on the transition, but I also want part of his team working on defense.
President Trump's people should be contacting Trump electors to thank them for their support, see if there is anything they need to feel more secure in the face of threats, and make sure they will vote as pledged. Team Trump should also be contacting Hillary electors and encouraging them to preserve the integrity of the electoral system. A good case can be made that Hillary electors should defect and vote Trump as needed to produce the correct electoral vote totals. Trump's people should be making that case - not that they want extra defectors but that they want the correct final tally if there are faithless electors on either side.
*LOVE*
How much did they spend in other states to begin recount?
Jeez Louise - why do FReepers keep posting pics of this hag? Do I have to sleep with the light on again tonight?
Money excuse is to save face.
It warms the cockles of my heart!
Maybe we could have a monthly recount celebration for the next year without actually recounting anything. Just a day to post our favorite election 2016 moments.
And how about one in NH, too!
12 of Clinton’s 20 jurisdictions (that she took in the election) are places that allow illegals to get driver’s licenses. Only one place that does that, Utah, did not go for Clinton.
While correlation is not causation, it’s pretty dang suspicious.
